Former Arizona Baseball players making noise in the Minor Leagues
Through the dog days of summer, with no Wildcat sports, we can at least track some former Cats as they make their way through the Minor Leagues.
If you haven’t been paying attention much, a few former Wildcats were drafted into the Minor Leagues just a few weeks ago, and are already in the midst of their seasons. Additionally, there are still a few Cats at various levels, playing their respective seasons as well.
We would like to do our best in highlighting a few of our Cats!
